Freckles are very often a subject of complaint from many women. It’s so difficult to maintain an even skin tone nowadays with the sun bad effect. We all know that the number of freckles increase in summer and decrease in winter. They very often disappear in mid forties and are replaced by the age spots. To avoid or at least slow down the appearance of those, you need to take preventive measures.

1. Wear a proper sun screen

2. avoid sun exposure

These two are the main measures you can take. Since when we expose our body to the sun, it produces melanin and melanin causes discoloration.

Some facial procedures like peeling and skin lightening could help since melanin is stored on the top layer of the skin. Hydroquinone is one of the best treatments on the market as well as the Japanese product Kojic acid which is derived from fungi and is very gentle to the skin and has a proven effect. It prevents melanin creating as it attacks the upper layers of the skin.

Very important: You should avoid sun exposure while using any of these products and apply a high SPF sun screen.

You can also try with natural products like sour milk or yogurt. Lemon juice is also a well known skin lightener. Skin masks made of fruits or vegetables like strawberry, cucumber, apricot are also good. Mix lemon juice, orange juice,red currant juice and parsley juice of equal quantity and apply on you skin. Have plenty of vitamin C in your food.
